Re: VG30DETT 510
So...this thing has been back on the road a while, I even drove it down to Monterey, CA last weekend - 1500mi round trip! I'm going through tuning steps with the ECU and it's pretty much set as far as daily drivabilty goes. Cold start, cold idle, warm up, low and medium throttle driving and transiti...

Re: VG30DETT 510
Thanks! I'm actually working on making this my 100% daily driver like it was back in ...oh hell, long time ago. Yesterday I was going through pictures and the list of changes from when it was initially a TT to now is kind of staggering Turbos recirc valves ECU (including going from MAF to MAP - main...

Re: VG30DETT 510
So....it's been just over 4 years, and this thing has been down for much of it because shortly after Canby I overheated it by running it out of coolant (note to self: don't run w/out an overflow tank for the radiator). Nothing like rebuilding an engine that has less than 500 miles on it, but at leas...

Re: RUN TO THE CASCADES 2013
Hmm...I probably won't know until very close to that weekend. I'd guess no because I have too many things in transition yet (I have just over 100 miles on the recent rebuild/upgrades). Shasta is the weekend after (the Roadster crew opened it to all Datsuns this year). Damn, so close. Is there a B.C....

Re: VG30DETT 510
I'm a Nissan-swap guy myself, although for some reason an American V8 in a S30 Z-car doesn't bother me much. F20C (Honda S2000 engine) is just too weird for my tastes, but the concept is sound! Thanks Jason! It's a blast, I was up until 11:30PM last night driving around datalogging and tuning. There...

Re: VG30DETT 510
So...this thing is mostly on the road these days. I made it to Canby (Saturday for a couple hours, anyway) with it and have over 100 miles on it. Today I installed a straighter front bumper http://www.datsuns.com/red/Images/Red_2013_small.jpg which, oddly required me to modify the airdam. It current...

Re: VG30DETT 510
I did, they did a great job. As soon as the intake plumbing is 100% done the car will go to their shop to complete the radiator fabrication as well. They tried comiing out and making templates, but without the car in their shop the templates they'd made were just far enough off that we decieded just...

Re: VG30DETT 510
Some recent progress. All views are drivers' side intercooler area work - specifically, the vertical panel which will help seal off that section of the engine bay as there will be horizontal panels as before. This will minimize warm are from the enigne going into the intake. The air will be drawn fr...

Re: VG30DETT 510
Currently no but it's not done. It will be supported on the forward lip as you see on most cars with aggressive splitters. Splitters should be strong enough and have enough support that you can stand on them w/out damaging anything.

Re: VG30DETT 510
The edge does not need to be shaped a certain way, I could have shaped it the same as the lower part of the airdam but I plan on opening uo that center area and routing that airflow to useful places so I want to capture as much air from there as possible. Agreed on it being nice if it extended back ...
